You don't need "-t history" on the psql part. It doesn't do what you think it does, and it's reading the next part ("history") as the database name.
try:
pg_dump -h <hostname1> -U postgres -t history DATABASENAME | psql -h hostname2 -U postgres DATABASENAME > db.sqlDerrick

Hi all,
I am trying to update / refresh one table (history) only from prod. database to my test environment database
my query as follows:
pg_dump -h <hostname1> -U postgres -t history DATABASENAME | psql -h hostname2 -U postgres -t history DATABASENAME > db.sql
but I am getting the following error
psql: FATAL: database "history" does not exist
Can you help please?
what would be the script if I want more than one table (3 tables to refresh)
Kind regards
